Has there been an influx of TRAs to Mumsnet recently?

[ByTheRiverside]

I'm a long time reader. Only recently started to participate.

I very rarely saw any TRAs on here over the years. But in the past few weeks, I've noticed a lot of them coming here.

You can generally tell by the absolute shite coming out of their mouths, such as being avid apologists for sex offenders.

What's their deal with coming here? Are they saying that their 'womanhood' is reliant on us conforming to their belief, so they're trying to get us to agree with them? If that's so, then welcome!!! You're going to have to get used to reality real quick if you stick around.

Has anyone else noticed this, or just me?

Was it a deleted thread? What was it about?

The title was ‘RoterechteHand on JKR’ with an essay on his highly important opinions on why she is wrong about everything.

Yes I saw that one. Was really hoping nobody would respond. I suppose deletion works too, it may have been a PBP.

The deleted post did include this suggestion for JKR

If you genuinely cared about women you would fund domestic violence shelters.

Oh dear.....

That one was bloody amusing.

It's here. You don't have to log in to FB to read it - you can read it down the right-hand side of the page

The easiest is to direct them to Reddit where they will find a circle jerk of vulnerable TiMs busy shitting on women who are nasty enough to want their toilets, changing rooms, refuges, hospital wards etc. to be women only.

It is a religion. And like most religions, it's absolutely riddled with misogyny.

It's like going from the FT to the Sunday Sport.

I won’t hear a word against the Sport, their Twitter/X account is highly entertaining

The reading comprehension also bothers me.

And the really tricky questions just slide off them.

And the denial that they used the actual words you quote back at them.

Oh look, another 'pretending to ask a question' thread about Trans people which is really just another thread where the cis gendered 'sex realists' get to dunk on trans people again.... Ffs. Seriously the amount of threads on this subject is just crazy.

Thanks for the link - who could have imagined that such a po-faced bloke could provide a laugh a minute?

Oh, it’s him! Such a shame as I like him other than this.
No one in the comments is saying about Beira’s Place, sadly. I can’t unfortunately. I have to go stealth 🥷

Seriously! And on the “Feminism: Sex and gender discussions” board no less!

/s

Be accurate. It’s ’pretend To ask a question about TRAs’, actually.

Where did you see a question about trans people?? This thread is about TRAs, a lot of whom are not trans, and whose trans or not-trans status isn't discussed anyway.

Sorry that I care about women retaining the ability to speak about things affecting our rights. Next time I'll shut up and let the trans speak on my behalf.

As suggested upthread, I direct you to Reddit where you can dunk on women to your heart's content. Knock yourself out.

another thread where the cis gendered 'sex realists'

Hands up if you are a woman on this thread who identifies fully with regressive, oppressive sex stereotypes of the kind misogynistic men fantasise about….

Anyone?

I highly doubt any of the women you are referring to are "cis" 🙄

It makes a lot more sense if we call the TIM's scisgender.

They think they can change their gender with a pair of scissors.

There’s usually this pattern. Someone posts a piece of news/asks a question/links a story in good faith . A TRA responds early doors and says “blah blah blah plus general load of old bollocks”. GC posters reply to the bait and the original post gets derailed and the original debate is obscured. Job done for the tras. That’s how they get their sad little jollies.

I’ve noticed a lot of them post overnight. Which might account for the lack of coherence
